That would be nice.
To go for this and get some good exposure. And Gabriel Heinze is officially departing for Real Madrid. Bad news.

Nearly Satisfied
So we surprised Bernice at her class last week and now everyone in her class knows that she has don on coconut husks on her chest before! Haha!   You girls are always great, always and always great at coming out with ideas for birthday bashes and Bernice, we all know you were about to cry! Don't act brave! Haha and please learn how to cut a cake! Anyway, over the weekend, met Irna and Dilys for the captain's briefing regarding the Adidas +Challenge over at Dhoby's Cathay before heading to Taka where I bought a Nike Kit! Yes, the Nike Mercury Vapor!       Both the top and the shorts cost SGD49.75 each and there was a 10% on all items so I paid a total of about SGD88.48 in total with my taka voucher! :D Sadly I am left with only 80 bucks of the voucher... and guess what, the shorts was the last piece, S size. Damn but it was all good, no dirt no stain, no tear no nothing but perfect, I checked through. I am so happy already, like finally after eyeing it for 2 weeks. I went with Lynn and Mel the other time when I came by that nike shop within the department and was looking at this pair of shorts but this time I decided to get the full kit with the shirt as well! Okay whoopeee. Off to meet Nas and Bernice and then wait for Irna. In the mean time:

Oh don't.
I was reading Sham's blog and then thinking back of what I was talking to Kylie about last night, about sacrificing time for a sport which you have plenty of passion and love for... It is, so hard for us to divide time now, for family and for our favorite game, soccer and I agree with what Sham and Kylie say, that we are so busy that there is even no time for family and friends, no time to meet up and go out, to have some personal time. Life is never fair and will continue to be unjust and that's the way it is. Training was initially twice a week and now it stands at 3 times a week, including physical fitness training. 3 days out of the 5 days, we are out there training hard, improving and working on our skills and fitness, focusing on our first huge competition, the POL-ITE and all we get is nagging and more nagging when we get back home for a good night of sumptuous dinner and sleep. Isn't that unfair? But that's what we do and that's what we get in return. Why do humans always stereotype? Can't girls play soccer? Is soccer only a game for men and boys? Are sports like soccer not also meant for girls as well? Who says girls can't kick soccer and have to only stick to netball, tennis, badminton, ballet and tabletennis? There isn't such a rule at all or infact there is never such a rule and I've never seen it any where in the world. I've been busy week in and out and I know my parents are not happy with it as well but I don't care because I've already told them that I'm having soccer on 2, 3 and 5 and so they should know that I'll be back late, as per usual like before. Nonetheless, I try to be home earlier than usual but it's hard because we always have so much to talk about when we eat ... and of course, it takes time to consume a mac chicken meal. I just needed to have dinner because there ain't any for me at home. I know my parents are somehow wishing I'd just quit soccer anyway but no, I once again say, I will not. If only I had parents like Dilys, I would be the happiest person. If only... Well, It's now time for a good 15minutes rest before UT and then off to physical training... Marj xoxox

Drained
School has been such a dread lately. Waking up early, getting changed, preparation, walking through the park to the bus stop with my ever so reluctant pair of legs and then dragging them to class till we call it a day at 1600h. .... At times I just don't feel like attending classes at all despite the fact that I've already carried myself to school. I don't have the right mood and attitude for class, I don't want to sit there and then do nothing, I don't want to sit there and work with people who are so dominating that they take almost 98% of the slides during presentation, I don't want to occupy a place in class when I know I am going to dislike the lesson that has nothing to with my diploma, I don't want to sit in class and go through the entire lesson, I don't want to have to face boring and lame problem statements (but I wouldn't know when is there interesting ones), I don't want to have to have to report back in class by 930 when 2nd meeting starts and by 2 when 3rd meeting commences. I don't want to have to rush back from break outs, to have to rush on your meals when you know you have plenty of work to do on your part and all the other I don't wants. If school isn't that boring, I would not mention all the above but having to go through the same thing for every module is getting to me, despite the fact that I am in an undeniably exciting course, New Media under the rocking school called STA. Do you know how much it sucks when a facilitator ruins the whole damn module with a fun name that attracts you to go and tick that box and pick it as one of the modules you want to take? I hate it all the more Give me 5 days of school and everyday's lesson is about soccer, soccer and more soccer and I would gladly welcome every morning but sadly, that isn't the case. Soccer lessons comes only after school for 3/5 school days and after all the negative thoughts and the lousy mood for lesson after we call it a day for lesson, I know I can bring a smile back on my face because of the wonderful, special and awesome soccer team mates I have, that I can depend on, that I can share my woes with and turn my sour days into sweet days. You are the best I can ever have.. Goodnight Lots of love, Marj

Again.
My feet went aching today again after a short run in training. The first time was last tuesday, the day before the match against Yishun Secondary whereby we lost 0-3. I just don't get it and it has nothing to do with the boots because previously I do not have any problems with my feet aching with this pair of Umbro boots. It sucks to have to stop and then watch training by the sides. It was the same thing last Tuesday - I told Alex, "I want to kick but my feet is in pain." I sat there awhile, give my feet some rest before returning back stubbornly to continue kicking soccer. "What are you doing here?" was Iffa's question that greeted me upon my return and I told her, "I'm back to kick soccer!" The yishun match is just the next day and I hate to not have to train and get ready for the match. I feel so unprepared and I just didn't care anymore and headed back to the field to join the team for training. What Irna said is true but I was just stubborn and I refused to sit and stay. I wanted so much to go back and kick, I was determined to kick, determined to go all the way. Tay Ling took a snap or 2 of me while I was resting my feet at the sides before coming over and then ask me to ice my feet when I get back home and no, I have not ice my feet yet. I shall do so tomorrow. I hope ice-ing my feet will improve the condition and that I will not have to face it again. I do not want to miss part of training, I do not want to sit by the sides and watch, no, I want neither of those. I'm tired of those. I want to enjoy training with the team, get better together as a team and not continue to let Faz, Alex and Razali down. It's really time we have some proper discipline and get serious. I really love training so much because of you girls, the seniors especially :) and plus a few freshies who are really awesome people. It's because of you people that training is so enjoyable, it's because of you people that I can laugh so much, it's because of you people that I have more jokes now and so much more. I'm glad we are still together as a team and we are still so united as ever!! It's time we go out and catch a movie together and PWN the entire theatre, yes yes and Faridah's laughter will pwn the whole theatre, Wei Si's random-ness will cause the cleaners to go blur and confused, Sham's long floorball stick legs and Kylie's tall height will allow them to block any audience sitting down(including us), Lillian's noisy-ness will cause herself to be thrown out of the theatre by the ushers, Bernice's bad mannerism of "excuse me/s" and "your head!" will cause herself to get slapped in the face by any random people, Irna's gay-ness will create fun, joy, peace and laughter(from the ants because they are seeing such a huge gay the first time), Mel's funny jokes will create non-stop laughter in all of us, Iffa's macik's voice will cause herself to be dragged and be seated with the group of maciks, Nas's retardness will cause chicken chunks to be thrown into the air unknowingly, Catherine's innocent look will cause herself to be ushered out from the theatre as her looks do not meet the criteria of NC-16, Alieen's pretti-ness will cause herself to get kisses from all of us on her cheeks in the dark theatre, Dilys's sudden burst of laughter will cause the theatre to black out due to the fact that the wires are too agitated by her laughter and split, Lynn's mop-like-hair-when-tied will cause herself to be used as a mob to mop the floors of the theatre, Ili's cuteness will cause herself to be ushered into theatres screening PG movies because she fits the bill, PY's often emphasizing of the word "hor" will cause herself to be chosen to act as a lead actress in a local movie instead of watching the movie, Samantha's presence will cause herself to remain the theatre because the ushers have nothing against her and my presence in the theatre...hmm, that's very interesting. I won't be much of a problem because I'm the smallest size around and hey, I can get in for free! *laughs evily* Okay time for a good night's sleep and sorry that I had to leave early today, babes. Lots of love, Marj Labels: funnies

A Good ending
A victorious 3-0 win over the freshies last night was nothing as compared to watching a good movie to end the day and once again I say, we played well, attacked well and we used the flanks alot which is good. The defence, needs to be more proper and can be improved :) Fatigue and exhausted legs poured down on all of us but we just didn't give up. We pushed and moved, fought and pass, slide and pass, jump and head, ran and shout, get a shot, encourage, motivate, things like that. Every ball passed seems like it was a ball pass in an important and exhilarating match like Real Madrid and Barcelona(!?). The match, indeed, seems like were all playing against Arion FC and to me I felt that were all, as a team, are all ready and geared up to pounce on them come Saturday despite the fact that we are less experienced than them, truth to be honest. Wearing the captain armband was something special for the night...it seems that I was Roy Keane throughout the match except for the fact that I'm 10 x smaller built than him. BUT, that doesn't mean that I can be easily stepped on! So don't ever even try. Thanks to Kylie and Irna for going the distance to get it for me :) appreciated it alot and I wasn't even expecting it in any way, really, I didn't see it coming. Speaking of which, I have not buy back one to return to Alex since the day I misplaced it funnily but I think he forgot about it already. The freshies put up a good fight, good play but you can hardly hear loud shouting or calling of names from 95% of them. (Read: only looking for ball)Only 2 or 3 were calling for the ball. That shouldn't be happening and I believe they should remember their team mate's names already, at least half. As far as I'm concerned, I was the only one shouting above the rest in our team(cheh cheh). Nevertheless, it is good to see the amount of passion, enjoyment and love for the game in them because that is what the game of football is all about. Without the 3 elements, you cannot kick football. Good to know them, meet them and see the drive in them. Some were new to football, some have played before, some .. just play for the fun of it. I won't say that those who is playing for the first time are damn noobs but more of, learn something new in life and if desire seeks you, continue learning and getting into that something new. Everyone learns new things, agree? Be it sports or subject or laws. Last training today before our match on Saturday... I can hardly wait. It's a mixture of both feelings of nervous-ness and excitement. Whatever the matter is, were still going ahead and get ready and show them we are opponent-worthy, right, team? Show them whacha got, don't let them scare us or make us feel inferior, don't. We can do it team, we can. I really had a good game and good training last night...perhaps one of the most less-exhausting training since it's more theory based. It was another good ending to the day. I cannot wait for the next training already. Every training to me is something that I cannot miss out on because...I love us all seniors and I enjoy each and every moment. Were all gay and we all know and we laugh about it. Thank you team so much. With lots of ♥, Marjory Labels: ladies soccer.

TGIF.
Thank God it's Friday... Near the weekends and I am near falling asleep, building castles in the sky. I really exhausted and have zero energy to listen in class even. I'm looking forward to the trials later and to the weekends. I feel that it's gona be an exciting time during the trials later but at the same time it is going to be a moment of competitiveness and shaky nerves for us all. No matter what, we still have to move on and just do our best, as a team, one United. Speaking of which, I spotted a man who was coincidentally reading my favorite newspaper section, the Sports section and the headlines of that section was, "something something dis-united torn apart by Milan." followed by a picture of Kaka celebrating with Rooney on the background blurred up. Enough of salt rubbing, seriously! We have the FA Cup and the EPL title anyway to ease the European pain. I should get back lazy ass back to work now anyway and continue keeping my ears attached to the voices of The Calling. ...but I'm so worn out! Good day and lotsa love to you soccer girls, Marj Answers to: Mel: No he doesn't know, I believe so.

The BBQ and thoughts
I had good fun. I had good laughs. I had a good time, goodnight. Thanks Faz, Gary and Alex for coming down and it's great to see them all anyway but it would be much better had Gary's mother not gave him a curfew, ha! We had fun anyway and the chop chilli chop game is now one of our soccer's favorite game to finish off the yucky Sprite Zero. We didn't finish off all the cans anyway and unfortunately, there are about 7 cans of those in my house's fridge!! Am not going to drink those for sure. Everything was good and it really seems like it was the last time were gona see each other, I don't know why. Ugh anyway, good news is that our trials are on a separate day from the year 1s so it's not that bad. On the flip side, we get to see how many good ones come this Friday, session #01 of the trials. But nonetheless, we should just welcome them and make them feel welcomed into the team...as much as I would hate to say this like we all do... Hm anyway, girls, we'll have a chalet come this holiday and I bet all we'll have more fun and all of us will ton the night! Also, we'll invite the same people maybe except for (name inserted here) but it would be pretty obvious. O I just hope he doesn't stay over with us then. To hear him snore is gona be a chore. I cannot wait for the soccer camp anymore, anyone else can't wait except Bernice? Am going to go get some good 1 hr sleep before the Liverpool v Chelsea match and pray for recovery on my left eye. Pictures from the BBQ will be up tomorrow :) Signing off, Marj
